Bless her, I do hope that she will remain in remission for as long as possible . She is bound to feel a bit drained from all the treatment, but I am sure all of your TLC will be of great benefit to her. Also, she is blissfully unaware of the 'Big C' diagnosis. She has none of the fear and worry associated with knowing. Sadly you have to bear that. Sending lots more vibes and hugs :love:

James, I wish I were able to think as an animal thinks. They live in the moment and as a result I am sure they do far better psychologically than we humans do when faced with adversity. If reincarnation really happens then I hope I come back as an animal of some sort next time around ! Send friendship across the pond to the other Kent in the USA :D :love:
